Each part is designated by its appropriate reference character wherevershown.

lUpon a suitable support or stand 1, which, in the present instance. isconstructed of metal tubing, is mounted what is known in the art as aplaten frame 2 in which is mounted the paper supporting and feedingmechanism and upon which is carried the main .machine frame 3 whichsupports a movable carriage 4t propelled in the direction of letterspacing by spring drums 5 connected to the carriage by tapes 6. Thecarriage 4L supports, as usual, the downwardly acting printing mecha(not shown), the operation, of which, as usual, causes an intermittentescapement of the mechanism and the step by step advance of the carriageinthe direction of letter spac ing. Supported" by the main frame 3, inrear thereof, isa register bar 1 upon which is mounted one or morecomputing devices or registers 8 operated by actuating mechaon thecarriage ll and under 'rl ween the motor the control of the numeral keysof the printing mechanism.

The machine selected for illustrative purposes is so well known in theart that a merely conventional illustration is thought sufficient butfor a more complete disclosure, reference is made to Patents 878868,825469 and 829971. V

Ordinarily the carriage 4 is retracted by hand to reposition thecarriage for the writing of a new line and to restore the carryingmechanism of the adding devices 8. -My invention. however, contemplatesthe employ incntof a motor to retract the carriage and incidentally torewind the carriage propelling drums and reset the adding devices. Tothis end a motor 9, preferably of a standard electrical type, is mountedon the stand 1 and is geared to a motor shaft 10 allerdcd bearings inthegear case 11 of the motor and also in special bearing brackets 12 and13, the former depending from the frame 3, see Figs. 2 and 3, and thelatter extending laterally from the front end of the platen frame 2. Thebracket 12 is provided with a stationary cylindrical bushing It in whichthe shaft 10 rotates and upon which is arranged to rotate loosely aretracting drum 15. The drum 1:3 is generally similar to the carriagepropelling drum 5, but contains a somewhat weaker spring 16. secured atone end to the stationary bushing 14 and at its opposite end to theouter wall of the drum 15. (See Figs. 2 and 6). bout the periphery ofthe drum 15 is wound a carriage retracting tape 17 having its oppositeend secured to the carriage 4 and guided by an intermediate guide roller18 suitably mounted on the frame 3. (See Fig. 3).

The direction of winding of the spring 16 is such that the normaltendency of the drum 15 is to rotate in the proper direction to maintainthe retracting tape 17 in taut condition. but the strength of the spring16 is insufficient to materially oppose the carriage propellingmechanism. As the drum 15 rotates freely on the bushing 14, it will beseen that as the carriage advances the pull on the tape 17 will causethe same to unwind from thedrum 15 and the rotation of said drum willwind the spring 16. It now the carriage l is retracted, as for instance.bv hand the slack which would other-- wise be produced in the tape 1'7is taken up bv the reverse rotation of the drum 15 under the impulse ofits spring. Normally the retracting drum 15 is free to rotate in onedirection or the other as the carriage is moved forward or back. butwhen it is desired to utilize the motor for the retraction ol' thecarriage. a connection is established l shaft- 10 and the retractingdrum 15 by a motor clutch 19 comprising two correspondingly toothedclutch members 19 and 19, the former being preferably formed integralwith one side wall of the drum 15 and the other being formed atthe endof a clutch sleeve 20, surrounding the motor shaft 10 and extendedthrough the bracket 13 and somewhat beyond the front end of the shaft,as shown in Fig.

. The clutch sleeve 20 is designed to rotate with the shaft 10, but haslimited independent longitudinal movement to engage and disengage theclutch members. This relation of the shaft 10 and the sleeve 20 issecured by providing the shaft with a block or spline 21 received withina slot 22 in the sleeve. Screwed upon the outer end of the sleeve 20 isa cap 23 to which is secured, as by a screw 2- a key 25 of cylindricalform which acts as a housing for a clutch retracting spring 26surrounding the sleeve 20 and interposed between the cap 23 and thebracket 13 or a ring 27 secured to the bracket and constituting abearing for the rear end of the cylindrical key. Normally the sleeve 20and the clutch member 19 are held in their forward or retract positionby the spring 26.

\Vhen it is desired to retract the carriage, it is simply necessary forthe operator to push the key 25 rearwardly against the resistance of thespring 26, thus moving the. clutch member 19 into engagement with theclutch member 19 and thereby effecting a driving connection between themotor shaft 10 and the carriage retracting drum 15. In order to startthe motor 19 simultaneously with the throwing in of the motor clutch, astarting switch 28 is mounted at the front of the stand 1 and in aposition to be operated by an arm 29 projecting laterally from thesleeve 20, the rearward movement of the sleeve thus serving to throw inthe clutch 1t and close the starting switchf In the particular type ofmachine herein illustrated. the frame 3 is normally stationary and thetypewritten matter is line spaced by the movement of the paper. Theframe, how ever, is capable of being moved back away from the front ofthe platen frame 2 to facilitate access to the paper sheet and itssupporting and feeding mechanism. The carriage retracting mechanism,which has been described, accommodates this shifting of the frame 2,since it will be seen that when the frame is thus shifted, the bracket12 moves rearwardly with it, the bushing 14 f sliding longitudinally ofthe shaft 10 and carrying with it the retracting drum 1-: and the clutchmember 19 associated with said drum. hen the frame 3 is moved forwardagain to normal position. the drum 1.3 and the clutch member 19 arelikewise re stored to normal position to be engaged. when desired, bythe other clutch member. it being, of course. understood that tin-re isno occasion for retracting the carriage exiaaaoaa cept when the machineis in its normal or printing position. In order to insure the positivedisengagement of the clutch when the carriage reaches its fullyretracted position, ll provide a clutch lever fulcrumed on the frame 3,as shown in Fig. 4, and having a wedge shaped portion 31 designed to beforced betweenthe side wall of the retracting drum 15 and anannularextension of the clutch member 19". The lever 30 is" held innormal position by a spring 33 and its upper end is disposed in the pathof the carriage d. When the carriage approachm" the limit of itsretraetile movement, it engages the upper end of the lever 36 andswinging the lever against the resistance of the spring 33 causes itswedge shaped lower end 31 to drum and the clutch extension 32 therebypositively forcing the clutch member 19" out of engagement with theclutch member 19* and positively breaking the connection between themotor and the carriage to prevent undue strain on the carriageretracting tape by reason of continued frictional engagement of theclutch members after the carriage had been arrested by engagement withthe carriage stop 31:. 1f desired, the upper end of the clutch lever 30may be equipped with a small flanged guide roller 35 for the tape 17.

As heretofore stated, the motor controlling mechanism and the linespacing mechanism are interrelated, and having now described theconnection between the -motor and the carriage and the mechanism wherebythis connection is controlled, 1 shall now describe themechanism forsupporting and feeding the paper and then the instrumentalities wherebythe line space lever and the carriage retracting devices are renderedmore or less interdependent.

Tn the platen frame 2 is mounted a transversely disposed platen 36having its opposite ends supported in platen sockets or rests 37 securedto the side bars of the frame 2. ln advance of the platen is mounted afeed roller 38, carried by a spindle 39, at one end of which is aknurled wheel 4L0 to facilitate the manual manipulation of the feedroller 38. The paper sheet X is led from thepaper roll 4L1, supported insuitable brackets at the rear end of the frame 2. and is extended aroundthe front side of the feed roller 38 and thence over the platen 36 to apaper'table 412 at the rear end of which is a hinged paper roll guard413 which guards the paper roll and guides the paper back over the roll,as shown in Fig. 10. Fan

tending along the major portion of the paper table 12 are side guides Mat the front end of which is hinged the rear edge of an apron 4L5, thefront edge of which is supported just in rear of'the upper side of theplaten by fingers 46 which rest upon the square ends be forced betweenthe retractingv of the platen, asshown in Figs. 8 and 18. The paperpasses down under this apron t5 and thence to the guides 44:, adjustablemargin guides t7 being extended from the apron t5 and resting upon theplaten, as shown in Fig. 8. The margin guides d7 have their rear'endsslidably connected to a guide rod 48 extending across the upper side ofthe apron, the front edge of which is slidably engaged by guide fingersl9 bent back from the margin guides. To facilitate the adjustment of themargin guides 47, the latter are provided with tabs 49 which may bereadily grasped between the fingers of the operator.

At opposite sides of the front end of the platen frame 2 are secured twovertical bearing brackets 50 between the upper ends of which extend atransverse shaft 51 to which is fixed an arm 52 having a pin 53 engagingthe forked upper end of a similar arm 54, extended from a shaft 55similar to the shaft 51, but extended between the lower ends of thebrackets 50. Supported at its rear edge from the shaft 51 and mounted toswing from said shaft, as an axis, is a scale bar 56 cut away atintervals, as shown in Fig. 8. 1n its passage from the paper roll 41 tothe fwd roller 38, the paper is supported by the bottom wall 56 of theplaten frame. This wall is preferably formed of sheet metal which isbent up around the front side of the roller 38 to a point slightly belowthe upper side of the roller at which point it is bent forwardly to forma front paper table 56 and is thence bent back bebelow the frame to forma guard 56. Coacting with the feed roller 38 are upper and lowerpressure rolls 57 and 58 carried by the front ends of the arms 59 and60, swung from the shafts 51 and 55 and urged toward the pressure rollerby springs 61. Extended from the shafts 51 and 55 are releasing pins 62which, when the shafts 51 and 55 are rotated by the operation of arelease'key 63, engage the arms 59 and and urge said arms in oppositedirections to re-- lease the pressure rolls 57 and 58 from the paper. a

The release key is located at the left hand. side of the front end ofthe platen frame and is mounted on a release lever 64, fulcrumed on atransverse frame bar 65 and provided with an eccentric slot 66 engagingthe pin 53. Upon the depression of the release key 63 the lever 641 isswung to swing the arms 52 and 54L for the purpose of rocking the shafts51 and 55 and thus edecting the withdrawal of the pressure rolls 57 and58 from the pressure roll 38.

At opposite ends of the spindle 39 are.

secured line space ratchet wheels 67 and 68,

the wheel 67, located at the right hand side of the platen frame, beingdisposed for engagement by line space pawl 69, carried by a pawl carrier70 having an elongated slot 71 engaging the spindle 39. The pawl carrier70 is normally retained in the position shown in Fig. 13 by a retractingspring 72 and is provided with a slot 73 engaged by a pin 74 projectingfrom the rear end of the line space lever 75, fulcrumed on the shaft andprovided with a line space key 76. The key 76 is normally retained inelevated position by a spring 76*. act with the pawl carrier 70 is agraduated line space stop 77, adapted to be moved to different positionsto provide a varying limit of movement for the pawl carrier 70 and thussecure a varying degree of rotation or line space feed of the feedroller 38; Coacting with the ratchet 68 is a check roller 67 carried byan arm 67," swung from the shaft 55, and urged toward the ratchet by aspring 67.

It may be stated at this point that the combination, here shown, of arotary line spacing element coaeting with .a line space lever and pawl,substantially in the manner here described, is disclosed in myco-pending application #545,608, wherein is also disclosed two sets ofpressure rolls coacting with the rotary line spacing element andcontrolled by a release key, in a manner similar to the correspondingmechanism here described. The arrangement shown in the presentapplication is specifically different from that shown in application#545,608, in that the supporting arms of the pressure rolls are somounted as to leave a free and unobstructed passage through which looseleaves may be fed straight in front of the frame to the upper side ofthe rotary line spacing element. This arrangement is believed to benovel. It should also be stated that the idea of utilizing a platen,which is substantially square in cross section as well as thecombination of the stationary platen with paper supporting and feedingmechanism, as here shown, is not original with me, but is the inventionof George F. Watt.

It is desired to place the carriage retracting mechanism, as well as theline spacing mechanism, under the control of the key 76, so that whensaid key is operated to line space the work sheet, it will also causethe carriage retracting mechanism to be brought into action to retractthe carriage, thus positioning both the work sheet and the carriage forthe writing of a new line. To this end, the pin 74, carried by the rearend of the lever 75, is extended into engagement with the forked end ofan arm 78, extended from the right hand end of a rock shaft 79, affordedbearings in the bracket 13 and in additional brackets 80, depending fromV the sides of the platen frame. At or adja: cent to its left hand end,the shaft 79 is provided with an arm 81, adapted when swung back toengage a pin 82, projecting laterally Arranged to cofrom the sleeve 20.When the key 76 is depressed, it operates the line spacing mechanism toadvance the work sheet and also swings the arm 78 to rock the shaft 79and thus cause the arm 81, by engagement with the pin 82, to urge thesleeve 20 rearwardly. This movement of the sleeve, as we have alreadyseen, causes the engagement of the motor clutch 19 and 19" and closesthe starting switch 28. In other words, the manipulation of the key 76line spaces the work sheet and causes the motor 9 to be brought intoaction to retract the carriage 4.

It is desirable to also provide line spacing mechanism automaticallyoperated by the carriage 4 upon its retraction and to arrange the sameso that it can be rendered operative of inoperative at will. To attainthis end, a pawl carrier 83, similar in all re spects to the carrier 70,is associated with the line space ratchet 68 at the left hand side ofthe platen frame and into the slot 84 which corresponds to the slot 73in the carrier 70, is extended the end of a bellcrank lever 85. Thelever 85 is fulcrumed on the bracket 13 and is retained in normalposition by a spring 86. One of the arms of the lever 85 is disposedvertically and is provided with an angular extremity 87 disposed in thepath of an arm 88, mounted at the under side of a plate 89, moving withthe carriage 4. As the carriage reaches the limit of its retractilemovement, the arm 88 engages the bell crank lever 87 and swings thelatter against the resistance of the spring 86 to operate the pawlcarrier 83 and thus effect a predetermined rotary movement of the linespacing roller 38. The carriage operated line spacing stop is intendedto be used either independently of or in conjunction with the linespacing mechanism operated by the key 76. For instance, if the linespacing stop 77 is adjusted to give a maximum movement of the keyoperated line space mechanism, the maximum line spacing movement of thework sheet will result upon the depression of the key 76, and thecarriage retracting motor will be started to retract the carriage andautomatically effect an additional line spacing movement of the worksheet, by the operation of the automatic line spacing mechanism. If themaximum operation of the key operated mechanism efiects a double linespacing movement of the work sheet and the carriage operated linespacing mechanism effects a single line space advance of the sheet, thedescribed conjoint operation of these two mechanisms will give tripleline spacing, consequent upon the depression of the key 7 6. As anexample of the use of the carriage operated line spacing mechanism,independently of the key operated line spacing mechanism, it will beobserved that if, with the carriage in the position shown in Fig. 1, theoperator tit tttl

tilt

maca

presses the motor key 25, started and the carriage will be retractedwithout in any way afiecting the line spacing mechanism operated by thekey 76, since the pin 82 will merely move away from the arm 81, as shownin Fig. '2. When the carriage reaches the limit of'its retractilemovement, however, the carriage operated line spacing mechanism willefiect a single line space advance of the work sheet. In addition tothese two conditions of operation, comprehending the conjoint operationof the two line spacing mechanisms or the independent operation of thecarriage operated mechanism, it is also desired to provide for theoperation of the key operated line spacing mechanism independently ofthe carriage operated mechanism, and also for the motor retraction ofthe carriage without any line spacing operation whatever. These ends areattained by providing means whereby the carriage line spacing mechanismmay be put out of action.

The arm 88 is carried by-a headed screw 90 swiveled in the plate 89, andwithin a recess in said arm is coiled a spring 91 having its endssecured to the arm and plate respectively, and urging the arm against apin 92 depending from the plate 89. If it is desired to place thecarriage line spacing mechanism out of commission, it is simplynecessary to swing the arm 88 out of interfering relation with the lever85, where said arm may be held by tightening up the screw 90. With thearm 88 in its inoperative position, it will be seen that all linespacing movement of the roller 38 will be accomplished by the keyoperated line spacing mechanism, and if it is desired to efl'ect themotor retraction of the carriage without any line spacing whatever, themotor may be brought into action by the direct operation of the motorclutch from the motor key 25.

llt may be pointed out in conclusion that each of the two keys 25 and 76control the operation of the motor; that the key 76 additionally servesas an actuating member'for line spacing mechanism and indirectly causesthe operation of a second line spacing mechanism, since it starts themotor to retract the carriage which in turn operates the second linespacing mechanism. Further the key-25 not only controls the operation ofthe motor, but also the operation of the line spacing mechanism operatedfrom the motor by the retraction of the carriage and by reason of thearrangement for putting the carriage line spacing mechanism out ofoperation, the key 25 may be operated to cause the motor retraction ofthe carriage either with or without a consequent automatic operation ofthe line spacing mechanism.
